If btrfs initramfs hook should only be needed for a root btrfs AFAIK, but if the initramfs is probing before the btrfs module is loaded/available or devices scanned that would produce such error. Is it actually failing in initramfs, or after? Paste output of failing `mkinitcpio` command. I am mobile ATM so I can only read check so much, but verbatim output is required to debug further. -- C Anthony
